"Here I am Lord
all alone
in this place
I call my home.
My soul's uplifted
I feel anew,
but right now,
my heart's in two.
No one asks,
no one cares.
I have nobody
my burdens to share."
This is the cry
of many a saint
sitting on pews
wearing masks they paint
No one asks,
no one cares.
They have nobody
their burdens to share.
Give us Lord
a loving heart;
our Christian duty
let us not depart.
Help us to find
these hurting souls,
and help us erase
their pains and woes.
Sometimes our saints
get lost in the crowd.
We let life
get a little too loud.
So help us to ask,
guide us to care
so we all have somebody,
our burdens to share.
I wrote this one night after witnessing something at church that disturbed me. On my left was a saint weeping and seeking God, all alone. On my right was a sinner with nearly the entire church surrounding them. I was excited to see such an outpouring of love for a lost soul...but I was also saddened to see a saint obviously reaching out to God, without anyone praying with her! I know we need to reach the lost...I'm not saying we shouldn't. However, I do think sometimes we think that the saints, the already saved, are doing just find and don't need that support...after all, they're already living for God! That's wrong though...we all need love and encouragement and prayer partners, whether we're just coming in, or have been living for God for 10, 20, 30+ years!
